- Summary:
- This working paper is intended to aid discussion of the following ethical dilemma: For 40 years there has been a consensus that infants should be screened at birth only for conditions for which an effective treatment already exists. As we enter the age of genomic medicine, is this rule an outmoded dogma that ought to be overturned or a sound principle that ought to be preserved?
